Parameters

poolSize: Number of dice to roll.
target: Value to reach with a dice roll to obtain a success.

Returns

The number of successes, according to the Original World of Darkness rules.

Description

Makes a check using the Original World of Darkness rules.

A d10 is rolled poolSize times. Each time the result is greater or equal to target a success is obtained.

A roll of 10 is rolled again (rolls of 1 on these rerolls do not count).

Any number of 1 cancels a single success.

If the number of 1 is greater than the number of successes, the number of successes is reduced to zero. It's a failed roll.

If the number of successes is 0 and at least a 1 was rolled, the outcome is a botch.

Examples

Some results generated by owod(5, 8):
[3,9!,4,4,9!] = 2 (each "!" denotes a success)
[9!,2,13!,5,3] = 2 (values greater than 10 are re-rolled dice)
[3,9!,5,1,8!≡C] = 1 (the "C" indicate a cancelled success)
[1,8!,6,5,1≡F] = 0 (the "F" indicate a failed roll)
[2,1,5,5,6≡B] = -1 (the "B" indicate a botch)
